the one i got can be really fast ,at up to 30 sec a move i did not think it was
stronger than mach IV or the sapphire .it is close at these times .but when you
slow it down to 30 sec a move or longer it seem stronger and wins lots of games
.at 1 to 2 min a move it will surely challenge master players ,it sure
challenges hiarcs and fritz at that time level .i was really surprised at its
ability to play with the top programs .i wish i could figure out who programed
this computer .
